She was an extraordinary person. I was pretty new to faire and she randomly greeted me like an old friend and offered me a fresh fritter. As I got to know her over the years, I came to know her beautiful soul. She was the most amazing person and she was genuinely kind to everyone. The world has dimmed with out her shine, and I will forever miss her, but I will forever smile when I think of her. Thank you Sally Moon for sharing your loveliness with me through the years. You were like no other.

Going to conventions was something mom was very passionate about. The first she took me to was a Star Trek convention, it was fitting that the last we went to together was Stan Lee's kamikaze where we met up with my friends Stephanie and Tim. Mom always had so much love for me and my friends. She was always down to be silly. Or down to take a shot. I know the SkyFaire is a real party now.
